Compression Garment for the Mons Area?
I had TT on 04/27 and I still wear my binder at night and some during the day when I am home. It helps the swelling soooo much. But, I still tend to have swelling in the mons (pubic) area. Is there something I can buy to compress that area? I prefer to have something that would replace my binder too.

Hi Cindy,
My sister brought me some 8x10 surgical dressing pads that were too big for anything really. So the other night I folded it over on itself a few times so that it's like a ginormous maxi pad and stuck it under the strap that kinda goes horizontal across my upper mons area. There must be something out there better but this seems to be doing the trick. Hope that makes sense.

What about Spanx? The slim cognito highwaisted underwear (not the thigh lenth one, its crotchless) , it has that tight stretchy material even on the crotch area. Check out makemeheal.com, I think someone mentioned on their blog about having specific items for this problem. I too am bothered by this but am only 12 days postop, I can't do much about it yet.
Found this contraption googling. It's a pelvic compression garment used for gyno surgeries. Most Active
